And I do mean that about Jess Fostekew - if I had resigned under different circumstances , she would have been high on my list of best replacements - it was always a battle to persuade others in the show to make it less male and hopefully that change is finally happening

The tightening of stomach never goes away when I see things like this - that no one bothered to tell me the show was returning - that no one ever spoke to me again & that they happily allowed untruths to fester www.patreon.com/RobinInce/po... (But I do think Jess Fostekew will be great)

Great day capturing drone imagery of Triassic dinosaur footprints in lakeside sediments in the Luck Stone Culpeper quarry. ⚒️

Two of Callan's students measure the distance from one footprint to another on a subhorizontal outcrop, with quarry walls rising up behind them.

The planning contradiction is impressively neat: it accepts that 809Mt of GHG emissions will worsen global warming. It says leaving the coal in the ground would make a difference …then approves the mine anyway. Climate science only matters up until the decision. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There is no greater treachery than this failure to face up to the climate crisis. How can we now fend off despair?

I also was once told that my paper should be thoroughly edited by a native speaker. I suspect that the Thai address on the paper confused them!

Such a classic happened to me quite a few times. Once asked to justify it. It turns out 2 sentences were not to his liking. My friend from Guernsey got it too because he has a french name. When you are a foreigner doing science you are not judged on the quality of it.

In Texas, the State is removing climate change courses from the core curriculum. They have decided that climate change is just too dangerous to teach the students. This is indoctrination. I wrote an oped about it in the SA Express-News. Gift link: www.expressnews.com/opinion/comm...

Did you know Bank/Monument Station has 16 entrances? It’s one of the most confusing stations on the London Underground, & with good reason I set out to find every single entrance and see just how far this Underground maze really goes. I counted 16 but I think there may be more?

Gavin Bazunu statement on withdrawing from Ireland squad

Statement - Gavin Bazunu

Representing my country means everything to me. I have the utmost respect for every single one of my team mates, the Manager, his staff and the Irish people

However I have reached a decision that I have hot taken lightly. I am a man of strong faith and try my best to be a person of character and principle therefore 1 feel it would be wrong to participate in the upcoming fixtures against Israel.

My decision is based purely upon my personal belief that the killing of innocent people is wrong.

It is important to note that my stance is not in opposition of the Israeli people or the Jewish community but against the atrocities in the region.

There are few times where you get a chance ir ife to stand up for something bigger and strongly believe that this is one of them
